1/. Leaves hanging on tight Grieving as their brothers fall Hoping for rescue 2/. Sneak up and say boo Get taken for terrorist Guantanamo Bay 3/. E.T. go home now Rednecks don’t want your sort here Racists rule the World 4/. Chat-up line slime ball Gets rejected and moves on New girl with same words 5/. The Bonfire Night Blues So glad I’m not a fireman I used to love it. Arthur Chappell

Oh yes, it's bonfire night, Guy Fawkes for you guys. We don't have any holidays with bonfires, though we do have a couple with fireworks.
